It is easy to find friends, but very difficult to maintain their friendship for a long time. Some people are blessed to have friends, who stick to each other through the thick and thin of their lives and never ever break the relation, even with geographical distance or time. Others take time to open up with people, while there are many others, who do not feel confident about themselves to have friends for their lifetime. Long lasting friendship does not happen in a day. It takes years to develop understanding and higher levels of trust, if you want to boast of having old friends. It needs equal efforts from both sides to make the relation work.
Some childhood friendships actually develop into long lasting friendship, since it is a result of mutual understanding and undeterred trust. The bond between the old friends is formed is so strong that even long distance cannot deter it. One can find a sparkle in the eyes of the people, when they tell about having old friends and boast of the longevity of their friendship.
The secret to long lasting friendships is not giving up on each other. It is inevitable that they grow up, form their opinions, have different temperaments and attitudes and possibly have different lifestyles. Yet, they hold onto each other and respect each other's opinions and attitudes.
Finding a true friend, who stays around forever, is something that life offers to very few. Often, life is compared to a train journey - you come across many people, enjoy the moment to the fullest and bid good bye to them. Similarly, you might come across many friends in your life, but it would be hard to find that person, who emerges as your true friend.
Sometimes when you lose your old friend, you wish to meet him or her. You use to try to connect with him or her via phone or email address. Why we want to connect with them because old is gold. Only with an old friend can we really talk about our other old friends, about their failures and successes, their old follies and their new compromises. And nothing strange can have as much meaning as does news of the recent and yet anciently characteristic acts of our friends. And so, blessed and willing to bless, we catch up.
